Herpes Zoster (HZ) is
caused by the secondary reactivation of Varicella Zoster virus. It is
characterised by presence of severe pain and unilateral vesicles along the
distribution of the affected nerve. Osteonecrosis is one of the rare
complications of Herpes Zoster which is seen after the acute phase of the illness
has subsided. We report a case of osteonecrosis of the maxilla in 35-years–old
female. The subject gave a history of Herpes Zoster of the maxillary branch of
the trigeminal nerve. After healing of the lesions, she then developed
osteonecrosis of the maxilla. Further investigations revealed her HIV positive status.
The clinical features, pathogenesis and management of this rare condition are
described. Further, the occurrence of HZ induced osteonecrosis lead to the
diagnosis of HIV in the present case.
